(NewNowNext.com)A gay Staten Island man is suing the NYPD after four officers dragged him from his home last month before violently beating him in the front yard while repeatedly yelling homophobic slurs.

Louis Falcone, 31, told the New York Daily News that officers arrived at the home he shares with his 66-year-old mother on June 19 to investigate a noise complaint. He had been arguing loudly with his brother an hour earlier, who had come home in an “obnoxiously drunk” stupor and left before police arrived to investigate the noise.

“As I’m talking to them through the screen door, they’re saying to come outside,” said Falcone. “I said, ‘For what?’”

Falcone added that his dog began barking from inside the house, to which an officer said, “Get your dog out of here or I”ll fucking kill it!”

Falcone also had surgery on his foot recently and was wearing a boot, but that didn’t stop the four aggressive officers from purposefully stepping on it after pulling him from his home illegally for a violent, unprovoked beating on the front lawn.

Falcone’s version of events was confirmed by a video obtained by the Daily News, which was shot from a neighbor’s window across the street. In it, Falcone is heard screaming for mercy while the officers mercilessly pile on top of him.

“They threw me against the concrete in front of my house. My first reaction was to try to get up a little bit,” Falcone explained. “While I was on the ground, I had mud and blood in my mouth. One [of the cops] said, ‘Don’t let it get on you, he probably has AIDS, the faggot.’”

Falcone begged the officers to be careful with his foot during the beating, a request they took as an invitation. “They’re hitting me for no reason. One puts his knee on my neck. They were all piling on top of me,” he recalled. “I said, ‘Please, I just had surgery on my foot. One of the cops stepped on my foot. Another cop comes and steps on my head.”

Falcone is suing the NYPD for violating his civil rights, not to mention the injuries he suffered.

According to Falcone, the attack left him with “a broken nose, two black eyes, cuts to his face and body, and…more foot surgery.”

“How can you do that – four people on one skinny, scrawny little guy?” Falcone’s attorney, Eric Subin asked. “They’re criminals; they belong behind bars.”

A powerful new report reveals the UK’s central bank, has been infiltrated by a terrorist linked crime syndicate, since at least 1998. The British intelligence agency known as MI5, has also been suppressing knowledge of this breach since the very beginning.

On Thursday the investigation exposed the public to the fact that the United Kingdom’s central bank has been silently invaded by an organization linked to assassinations, terrorism and money laundering.

BuzzFeed News established these facts, after it secured access to secret police documents and conducted interviews with a number of key sources.

This knowledge has been setting untouched since 1998, following an investigation named Operation Beregon. This investigation was headed by MI5 and Scotland Yard who have smothered this information with a veil of secrecy with the assistance of top police officers for at least 16 years. It is worth noting police officials were very concerned that this rupture in security could “destabilize” the country’s economy.

Detectives understood that the Bank of England had been penetrated since 1998, when they tapped the phone of a crooked businessman called “The Suit”. This man became a target by the investigation, when he was suspected of being linked to various criminal syndicates. His private phone conversations revealed to police that he had received very sensitive Bank information.

This enormous breach in the UK’s national security, was then covered up by MI5 with Scotland Yard’s blessing; leaving all those involved not only protected from criminal charges, but also from the awareness of the public itself.

BuzzFeed asserts that it was an affair with a BoE insider’s wife that granted The Suit his access to this devastating information.

The Suit had acquired ultra-sensitive details about the BoE’s monetary policy committee (MPC) – this committee sets the Bank’s base interest rate. This integral establishment has been compromised for well over a decade with no one being held accountable.

A leaked intelligence report also stated that two other men were investigated along with The Suit:

“These men are not only involved with numerous criminal gangs within the United Kingdom, but also four separate terrorist groups across the world and criminal organizations including the mafia and the most powerful Dutch criminal organizations.”

This massive story gives credence to the “conspiracy theory” of central banks being manipulated by malevolent forces. But let’s look at this from another angle, such as how did the bank react to the investigation? The BoE denied the criminal elements of The Suit:

“The Bank of England was approached regarding a potential issue by the police at the time. The Bank followed it up and nothing was found to substantiate the claims of a leak,”

A source with knowledge of Operation Beregon said the infiltration of Britain’s financial landscape has been a concern for quite some time:

“Organized crime’s infiltration of the City of London and financial services industry has long been a concern, intelligence such as this was a real risk to the economic well-being of the UK and shouldn’t have been suppressed.”

So the bank could not find any evidence of a leak, how convenient for The Suit huh? What about MI5 and Scotland Yard? What if the central bank is linked to a financial collapse, should these agencies be held accountable? Are these the people linked to the manipulation of gold markets based out of the BoE? Or are there others?

Personally this story seems a bit odd to me, but what can we do about it? This is a situation that is entering the cusp of public awareness, so sharing this article is a major move. Yet this is a situation that physically we cannot end, and so we raise attention to the extent that something must be done. Also, I understand the nature of the central banks and their fiat money, so to me they are all criminals touting debt based currency. I also give credit to BuzzFeed for digging deep and pulling out this gem – now lets do what these people don’t want and send this everywhere. Thank you so much for reading.

An image first posted by The Renegade Pharmacist depicting the detrimental effects of Coca-Cola has gone viral.

A recent study by the American Heart Association found that up to 184,000 people die per year as a direct result of soda consumption. Multiple studies have also shown it lowers your IQ, some groups in India claim to use Coca-Cola as a pesticide in their crops, agreeing it, “achieves the same result.”

If you love the taste of an ice cold soda, you may want to determine whether the flavor is actually worth the risk. Sugary drinks are killing around 184,000 people each year, according to a new study.

The research, published in the American Heart Association’s Circulation journal, points the finger at sugar-laden drinks ranging from sodas to sweetened iced tea, fruit drinks, and sports/energy drinks.

“Many countries in the world have a significant number of deaths occurring from a single dietary factor, sugar-sweetened beverages,” said study author Dariush Mozaffarian from Tufts University in Boston.

According to the research, most of the 184,000 global deaths are from people who die of diabetes due to the consumption of “sugar-sweetened beverages” (SSBs).

Another 45,000 die globally from cardiovascular diseases caused by sugary drink consumption, and 6,450 people die from cancers linked to sugar-laden beverages.

Can someone – anyone – please explain why America is near-universally outraged over the death of Cecil the Lion, the 13-year-old protected African lion who was recently illegally poached, but not over the death of Sandra Bland, Sam Dubose and so many other recent victims of police brutality, injustice and murder?

Cecil the Lion was shot and killed by wealthy midwestern dentist Walter Palmer last week.

Personally, I’m not happy about this. But then again, I’ve rightly been accused of being a “tree hugger” (to say the least).

For the past twenty years I have been on the front lines fighting for the Earth and animals. I’ll leave it at that, without getting into the details of my activism on those fronts. But my desire to defend those who need protection does not only extend to non-humans. First and foremost I am there to be a voice for voiceless humans.

Why is this such a difficult concept for so many to understand? Why are so many humans more outraged at the death of a non-human animal than they are innocent members of their own species?

When Cecil the Lion was killed, a number of news and alternative media sites ran pieces on the poaching. Each article quickly got thousands of shares throughout social media. America was outraged at the death of Cecil.

But Sandra Bland, by comparison, has received far less universal support. While there is outrage – to be sure – for many it is quite conditional in nature. While many say the police should have done things differently, Sandra Bland is also the recipient of their criticism. “If she had only…” has become something of a mantra about the Bland case.

British authorities have denied a six-month entry visa to Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei after he failed to declare his criminal conviction on his visa application.

The prominent artist and human rights advocate posted a copy of the UK Home Office’s justification for the move on Instagram. The letter stated that Ai’s requested visit had been restricted to September 9-29 only.

The letter said: “It is a matter of public record that you have previously received a criminal conviction in China, and you have not declared this.”

The letter goes on to add that an exception was granted in his case and that any future applications “must be completed as accurately as possible.” The letter warned that failure to do this could incur a a 10-year ban from entering the UK.
